    The shop is never big enough!

    Mine started two years ago as a 36x40 RV barn for the motor home on one side and the mav on the other. It now has a 21x40 addition.......I hope that is finally big enough for all the parts I need to find.

    . I did pick up a Grabber hood from a local guy today, YAY!

    swapped out the rear shock plates, shock mounting angle finally is back where it should be.
    took out a bunch of timing, 13° initial instead of 16°, 34° all in at 3000 instead of 37° at 2500. no more pinging between 2000 and 2500 rpm.
    changed the oil, drove it!

    created mounting brackets for my aluminum radiator.
    also created my bracket for trunk mounting everything electrical:
    fuse panel, fast ezefi ecu, usshift trans controller, and two relays for fuel pump and fan.

    Got a line on a potential parts car, a friend has a Granada ESS at his house, buckets, console etc.... Need to get over there and look at it, if it's a runner I will grab it up and use it for our local lemons rally before I kill it or move it on.

    Of course it did, taught him how to spend your money! I sure wish Wyotech was around when I got out of high school, I went to PIT and it was a miserable joke!

    Driver side door hinge done. Other side should be a piece of cake. Got my first couple of pieces of trim off last night.

    Decided against the truck flex fan that wanted to rub on the bottom of the radiator.....Taurus fan, volvo controller, and BMW temp switch (195 / 210) with 180 Tstat. Still need a couple things, but got these.... WP_20170505_20_00_07_Pro.jpg WP_20170505_20_01_03_Pro.jpg
